Age-Friendly University Day

Age-Friendly University Day

October 20, 2026| 8:30am - 12:30pm |

Available in person at UW-Superior

Join us for a welcoming morning of learning, discovery and connection as we explore the University of Wisconsin - Superior as a place for lifelong growth, engagement, and community. Enjoy coffee and conversation, an interactive session, guided campus tour, and insights from university leaders. The program concludes with a shared lunch and informal conversation.

Highlights include opening remarks from Interim Chancellor Cuzzo and a session led by one of our engaging facilitators: Dr. Erin Aldridge (music), Haley Lawson (poetry), and Liz Amys (yoga).

Whether you are exploring new interests, considering future opportunities for learning and involvement, or simply curious about what the campus community has to offer, this event is designed to inspire connection and possibility.
